The Rolling Stones – (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (Official Lyric Video)

The Rolling Stones, a living legend with a career spanning over 60 years and a source of pride for Britain, are absolutely indispensable as a rock classic.

Formed in London in 1962, the Stones drew on American roots music like blues and R&B to forge their own rock sound.

They debuted in 1963 with “Come On,” and followed with a string of major hits such as “I Wanna Be Your Man” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” With a rebellious image that symbolized the counterculture of the 1960s, they also achieved a musical resurgence with landmark albums like Beggars Banquet.

Over more than half a century, they remain active as legends of the rock world.

If you want to savor the allure of blues and rock ’n’ roll, this is a band you should definitely listen to!
